Not our worst draw, we play 3 top teams twice and I think we can go close in those matches
6 out of our first 9 games are at home. Commbank
That has to be something sort of advantage
our Byes are well spaced also
Though around 12 for first bye is tough.

I don't think we can complain too much about this draw. Even though we have a horrible start having to play both last years grand finalist's away in the first 2 weeks, we only play 3 of this years top 8 teams twice & as LB mentioned, we have the least amount of travel out of any team.
I'll take it
If you want to win the comp it should not matter who we play. There are no easy games in the nrl
Excellent response Kendoza. No such thing as a fair draw when we don't play everyone twice. Even then people would complain when we play them.
We should be a in a spot where we are a good enough team to beat everyone.

That is a top 8 draw for us, anything else will be considered a failure.
So in the 1st four games they play the premiers, runners up and another top 4 side and all away from home. Melbourne in Melbourne week 1 then Broncos in Brisbane week 2. Yep sounds about fair. NRL really likes Parra
